According to the Daily Mail, Rani as she is affectionately called by her family, has been in and out of hospital for various surgeries as well as treatment for the health problems that have plagued her as a result of her ordeal.

Despite the debilitating attack whose consequence she has been suffering for the past decade, Pramodini Roul said her boyfriend, Saroj Kumar Sahoo’s coming into her life has given her a reason to live happily again.

Saroj Kumar Sahoo met Pramodini Roul at a private hospital in 2014 and they both have been living together. Now the good news is that they are planning to get married.

“One day he heard my mother ask about my improvement and how long would it take for me to recover as my lower body had by then deteriorated. I was not even move without help, let alone stand on my feet.

“The reply wasn’t very positive as the doctors said that it would take at least four years for me to be able to walk. My mother naturally broke down when she heard that. That is when Saroj consoled her and assured her that he would do everything possible to get me walking.”

Rani said Saroj who was then 26-years-old “was extremely caring and looked after my needs. He would talk to me for hours and motivate me. It was a tough time for me when doctors had told me I would not be able to walk for four years.

“I had already lost my eyesight and the thought of being bedridden was an added woe. But Saroj did not lose hope. He would encourage me every day, motivating me to be positive and have hopes.

“He even quit his job to meet me every day. From 8 to 12am in the morning and 4 to 8pm in the evening, he was there with me. It had become a routine.
